Hello TW Group,
OLDTIME USER
I love TW since the very start, but I've long been reluctant to switch from TWC to TW5. $:/ and .json (still !) frightened me, and I feared to have a longer and harder learning curve. I still hardly read javascript and can't master TW5 filters !
So I'm still a (dedicated) user !
TW5 dedicated now :
I discover here in this group how full of goodies, core and plugins : transclusion, drag and drop, updating, and (alpha order !) Customizer, Notebook, Projectify, Shiraz, Spacespace, Stroll, Tablecol, Tidgraph, Utility.
I do not know yet what for I'd best use Streams (which I dream it could open the door to some reader comments mechanics ... )
- ► Thanks to every of you here !
Now, my question of the day :)
AN UNEXPECTED SLIDER USAGE
One of my wikis is for a theater group I train.
Testing recently TW
slider, I discovered sliders did not apply to a single fragment, but to all fragments with the same label. What an opportunity for role learning !
- ► You hide the text you learn and keep unhidden text of partners. So, not only you test your learning, but you are far more aware of when, why, how to speak your text !
So, I wanted to "sliderize" scenes of our current plays
(real instances here : Goldoni I,4 II,4 and
Guitry )Instead of :;HE
:How do you feel ?
;SHE
:Lorem ipsum,
:etc
;HE
:Really ?
I use :
Ctrl-E (transclude) and Ctrl-V, manual numbering, and "perform"-clicking :
!!THEPLAY part II scene 15
;HE
{{$:/THEPLAY_II.15_01}}
;SHE
{{$:/THEPLAY_II.15_02}}
;HE
{{$:/THEPLAY_II.15_03}}
then,
with find/replaces in my favorite editor :
<<slider "HE" "{{$:/THEPLAY_II.15_01}}">>
<<slider "SHE" "{{$:/THEPLAY_II.15_02}}">>
<<slider "HE" "{{$:/THEPLAY_II.15_03}}">>
It works as I want, but this is a rather tedious process to transform existing texts. I can't afford it for a whole play !
Doing it manually, I know it could be automated.
Can one of you here show me a way to save a lot of time and automate the process, at least partially ?
Thanks for any help :)
Jacques
